What caused Tyson to bite Holyfields ear?

I will respond to this comment tomorrow when I have more time. But I thank you for listing your sources and explaining in detail why you have come to this conclusion.

 

Double DQ? I like it. Kill two dirty birds with one stone.

“Mills Bee Lane III, the winner and New HW Champion of the World!”

Before each defence, during the face off, Mills could still say “Let’s get it on!!!”

Maybe Mills was even a touch smaller than “Tiny” Tommy Burns, so perhaps a new record there also. So many alternative possibilities to ponder.

 

I like DQ too, the Dilly Bar. Ha Ha.

 

Thanks to yee old world wide web that we're able to watch classic 80's commercials.

I'm doing well. A lot of solid boxing this year. Seems like the good old days when great fights took place almost weekly!!

 

I know man , I saw the Haney vs Loma fight, what did you think?

 

A bit dilly of Mike not to go with a butt for butt per the Old Testament instead of an ear for a butt.

The New Testament according to Mike “Sure, I’ll turn the other butt cheek but I’ll still bite your ear off….”. Puns gone wild!

 

Ha Ha, a great pun.

 

Evander gave Mike Tyson a private tour of the Pit of Misery.

(Dilly Dilly!!!)

Two examples of Tyson trying to break an opponent’s arm.

Against Botha he not only applies an arm bar (illegal in boxing, not MMA), he also while doing so throws a forearm and if you watch the replay part you can see he even headbutts Botha while having him locked up.

Perfect. What more can I say but Dilly Dilly!!

 

Open question. Who got officially pulled up the most for their infractions - Mike or Evander?

That’s not to say that officially issued warnings or points deductions (or lack thereof) are necessarily an accurate reflection of foul moves in all reality.

I could be wrong but my general perception is that, in whole career terms and perhaps in their fights specifically, Evander got away with more without due warnings or penalties.

We all know the famous Holyfield simultaneous head butt and nut punch - irrefutable double foul in my book - did Holy even get warned for either or did he ever admit to at least one intentional head butt during any of his fights?

Finally, most might agree that biting off a portion of your opponents ear is far worse than a head butt. But who exactly draws the line for the concept of “anything goes”?

Did Holyfield himself pass that line with his own repeated head butts - and is “anything goes” unevenly limited to the boundaries that Evander elected to push past himself?

Just some food for thought sans ear portions.

 

Where? Where? I like my Dilly Bars chocolate, I used to pay the Dilly man .10 cents for one when I was 5 years old.

 

Good fight. Slow mo replays confirm what most of us thought all along with Loma winning a clear but close fight.

Been waiting on Crawford-Spence for what, 5 years now? Be a miracle if that fight goes through in July.

 

I scored it 115-113 for Loma, he came back to dominate after a slow start.

 

Because he wanted to eat Holyfield's children but got hungry and fancied a little snack before the main course.
